General Announcements
Fundraiser to support Eagle Scout project, Catholic schools
Hoping to become an Eagle Scout, Joseph Lutholtz has developed a plan to promote the knowledge of geography for students attending six Indianapolis center city Catholic schools.
“My project is to paint an outline of the United States on the blacktops of the Mother Theodore Catholic Academies to promote geographic knowledge at a young age,” said Joseph, a senior at Roncalli High School in Indianapolis.
To raise funds for his project, Joseph will hold a rummage sale on Sept. 5 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the gymnasium at St. Andrew & St. Rita Catholic Academy, 4050 E. 38th St., in Indianapolis.
St. Andrew & St. Rita Catholic Academy is one of the six Mother Theodore Catholic Academies. The others are Central Catholic School, Holy Angels School, Holy Cross Central School, St. Anthony School and St. Philip Neri School.
“I’m a person who likes to help need-based efforts,” said Joseph, who is a member of Boy Scout Troop #9 based at the Irvington United Methodist Church in Indianapolis.
“I have a template for each of the maps, which will be 12 feet by 24 feet,” he explained. “When I’m done with my project, I’m planning to donate the template to the [archdiocesan] Office of Catholic Education so any other Catholic school can use it.”
